add a column as rownum or some other unique value. unfortunately the whole
thing will replicate, but you should be able to add the pk.

  Hi,
     I have a table under replication and corrupted with duplicates. I
cannot do any update/delete operation on the table since it needs a primary
key. I cannot create a primary key since duplicates exist. catch..
  i tried creating index by appending rowid/rownum but no luck. Any way out
of this. Cannot remove the table from replication since that needs quiescing
and cannot quiese right now due to processing that will last another 4 days.
Thanks for help.
